I won't connect my dishwasher to your stupid cloud

A new Bosch 500 series dishwasher requires a cloud-connected app to access basic features like rinse cycles and eco mode. This forces users to connect their appliance to Wi-Fi and create an online account, raising concerns about privacy, security, and planned obsolescence. The requirement for internet connectivity to use standard dishwasher functions is seen as unnecessary and potentially problematic for consumers.
